When does the ACLU not want to stamp out religion? When the religion is any other than Christianity of course:
The American Civil Liberties Union has sued the Livingston Parish School Board on behalf of a student suspended earlier this month for allegedly violating the district's dress code policy by having long hair. …
The school system's dress code policy violates Seth Chaisson's First Amendment rights to free expression of religion; his Fourteenth Amendment rights to due process; and Louisiana's Preservation of Religious Freedom Act, the lawsuit says.
Chaisson is a member of the United Houma Nation, a Native American group recognized by Louisiana but not the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs, the lawsuit says.
Seth isn't the kind of Indian likely to be a Sikh, so it's not clear what religion he allegedly practices that requires him not to get a haircut. The important thing is that it isn't Christianity, therefore he's special and doesn't have to abide by rules.
